In addition to pushing INTERNAL SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM on-resistance significantly down, special care is tak- en to ensure a very good dv/dt capability for the most demanding applications. Such series comple- ments ST full range of high voltage MOSFETs in- cluding revolutionary MDmesh products.

Unit BV Gate-Source Breakdown Igs= 1mA (Open Drain) 30 V GSO Voltage PROTECTION FEATURES OF GATE-TO-SOURCE ZENER DIODES The built-in back-to-back Zener diodes have specifically been designed to enhance not only the devices ESD capability, but also to make them safely absorb possible voltage transients that may occasionally be applied from gate to source. In this respect the Zener voltage is appropriate to achieve an efficient and cost-effective intervention to protect the devices integrity. These integrated Zener diodes thus avoid the usage of external components. 2/8
